  • Metal cutting fluids (MCFs) under flood conditions do not meet the urgent needs of reducing carbon emission. Biolubricant-based minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is an effective alternative to flood lubrication.

Third, the distinctive wetting and infiltration mechanisms of electrostatic atomization MQL, combined with its unique empowering mechanism and atomization method, are compared with those of pneumatic atomization MQL. Previous experiments have shown that electrostatic atomization MQL can reduce tool wear by 42.4% in metal cutting and improve the machined surface Ra by 47% compared with pneumatic atomization MQL.

Abstract: 

Metal cutting fluids (MCFs) under flood conditions do not meet the urgent needs of reducing carbon emission. Biolubricant-based minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is an effective alternative to flood lubrication. However, pneumatic atomization MQL has poor atomization properties, which is detrimental to occupational health. Therefore, electrostatic atomization MQL requires preliminary exploratory studies. However, systematic reviews are lacking in terms of capturing the current research status and development direction of this technology. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review and critical assessment of the existing understanding of electrostatic atomization MQL. This research can be used by scientists to gain insights into the action mechanism, theoretical basis, machining performance, and development direction of this technology. First, the critical equipment, eco-friendly atomization media (biolubricants), and empowering mechanisms of electrostatic atomization MQL are presented. Second, the advanced lubrication and heat transfer mechanisms of biolubricants are revealed by quantitatively comparing MQL with MCF-based wet machining. Third, the distinctive wetting and infiltration mechanisms of electrostatic atomization MQL, combined with its unique empowering mechanism and atomization method, are compared with those of pneumatic atomization MQL. Previous experiments have shown that electrostatic atomization MQL can reduce tool wear by 42.4% in metal cutting and improve the machined surface Ra by 47% compared with pneumatic atomization MQL. Finally, future development directions, including the improvement of the coordination parameters and equipment integration aspects, are proposed.
